No Buying of Health Care = NO ObamaCare

The Hill: Reports that Federal Judge Roger Vinson has stated that ObamaCare cant force Americans to buy health care, and since this is the foundation of ObamaCare the law itself has been thrown OUT. One can see Conservative and moderate Democrats up for re- election in 2012 going to Oval and making it clear that POTUS has to revoke his own health care reform, as these politicians are not going to jump off a cliff for a law that could be throw out by the US Supreme Court. IF and this a big IF ObamaCare is revoked by the Courts or POTUS Liberals will go bonkers, Obama between Egypt and this ruling might find 2012 very hard, still not off the idea that Obama might not run, who would have thought Egypt would fall.

ObamaCare STRUCK DOWN by Federal Court


CNN: Reports that a Federal Judge has struck down important parts of ObamaCare. This could be a nightmare for the Obama Oval, if the Supreme Court upholds that ObamaCare cant force US citizens to buy health cover then the entire ObamaCare has no money to support its main aim of covering Americans with no cover. This will be a major political headache for Obama re-elect committee, they will have to argue that Americans with health cover should pay to cover those with no cover, also Obama wants tax hikes, good luck with that argument. This day could be the start of the end of the Obama Presidency.

Muslim Brotherhood BIGGER part in REVOLT = Egypt


The New York Times: Reports that the Islamic Muslim Brotherhood is playing more of an active part in the protests in Cairo. Lets hope this is not 1979 all over again and Egypt is the 21 Century Iran. The revolution in Iran started out as a secular revolution but was take over and become a religious revolution, thus the present threat to the Middle East with a nuclear armed Iran. Lets hope the Obama Oval does not become a Carter Mark 11. Thus far POTUS has been very measured, Obama would know that the failure of Carter in Iran lead to the election of Ronald Reagan. Also Israel must be very worried that its peace treaty with Egypt could be a victim of this popular revolution, it really depends who takes over, the Army or the Arab Street.

Tsarist Russia and Mubarak


Telegraph: Reports that President Mubarak shows no sign of giving up power. History does show an example, Tsar Nicholas 11 was Emperor with no clothes, no Army support and no popular support. The question is how long does President Mubarak have, as he has been a good ally to the West one would like to see him survive as in breathing if not as President. It can be argued that President Mubarak should declare that he has spoken to his Doctors and they advice leave of absence, then hand over power to his Vice - President and make a discreet departure to warmer areas, or he could face the sad end of Tsar Nicholas 11, discretion the better part of valour in this case.

Game Over = Egypt


Well folks if the report that the Army of Egypt wont use force against the people stands up its all over, Mubarak is out one way or another, the Armed Forces have taken over all the important Government jobs, from Prime Minister to the Internal Ministry, thus expect General Suleiman the present new Vice - President to take over, then there are elections in a few months time, free in Arab terms, not sure they would pass Western tests but free compared to past elections in Egypt. The most important part is that the peace deal between Israel and Egypt should survive the fall of Mubarak, interesting days ahead for Egypt, but on the whole the crisis is passed, with Mubarak out some of the steam from the protests should go away, the news media should start to divert back to usual business, the next steps should not that be that interesting, backroom deals between politicians in Egypt. The normal politics Arab style.
